What is the difference between objecting to the settlement and excluding myself from the settlement?
Objecting is telling the Court that you do not like something about the proposed Settlement or any other matter to be considered at the Settlement Hearing. You can object only if you stay in the Class. Excluding yourself is telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Class. If you exclude yourself, you have no basis to object because the case no longer applies to you.
